Dan French takes us to Planet Chorizo with his latest Papa John’s commercial

Sticker Studios latest addition gets off to a psychedelic start with the mind bending, pizza popping new commercial for Papa John’s. The commercial starts with a young woman who reaches out to her tv screen and gets transported through a vortex and ends up on Planet Chorizo. The local inhabitants are shiny and glamorous, the jungles are meaty and there’s a lot of Y2K vibes going off. 


Dan adds his unique flavour to the piece with galaxy spanning visuals and a wonderful sense of personality thanks to top notch  art direction, costume, vfx and live action. Dan also worked on the impeccable editing, which really shines through with the surreal and bombastic tone.
